is released without warning, it is the biggest surprise
In the era of lack of information and the prestige of print media, it is really difficult for us game fans to obtain new work updates. It is impossible to access the Internet. You still dial up your ADSL at home and strictly limit your Internet access time. If you go to an Internet cafe, you will be regarded as a "unemployed gangster". Even if you can't help but tempt it, the process will be extremely difficult and dangerous. Not only will you fight wits and courage with all forces (?), the consequences of being caught are simply unbearable.
Considering risks and benefits, it is more cost-effective to save pocket money and lunch money to buy magazines. Boring student life points to magazines once a month or half a month. Friends will also say who will buy which one, and then circulate it to maximize profits. Although according to the current point of view, physical books are not environmentally friendly, occupy space, and are prone to physical dust, and the information transmission speed is particularly slow, the real touch of the paper is still quite stable, so I later took a lot of effort to change from physical party to virtual party. In addition to the visible and tangible characteristics of
, the magazine's greatest effect is to achieve enlightenment of games, especially console games, enhance the aesthetic taste of the game, and promote the overall understanding of the industry. Well, at that time, I could be regarded as the ultimate form of cloud players (?), and I know the general trends of the industry, the characteristics of the middle schools, and the details of the strategy. I know all kinds of games I haven't played before. I can't have entertainment, but I can only read magazines repeatedly. The one who impressed the most was definitely "GTA". Needless to say, the evil city is our eternal home, and SEGA's "Dragon in Man" series was also known for a long time. After all, works with YAKUZA themes were very rare at that time and now - at that time, there was no official translation by editing and translation, so "Red Dragon" became so popular.
In addition, the sense of ceremony in the paper era will be much stronger than it is now. E3 in June and TGS in September are grand festivals twice a year. Magazine will also spend a lot of money to send people to participate in the exhibition on site to collect various materials, and then wait for the exhibition to end, almost half a month and a month later, and thick special issues will be released to capture the scene. Well, what I like to read the most is not all the Showgirls pictures, but it is true that a magazine has been read more than usual. Everyone knows the situation afterwards. With the rapid development of the Internet and mobile Internet, magazines were quickly photographed on the beach. Although they could read the information, they no longer had the mood of looking forward to it every month.
like E3 and TGS also faded a lot, but at that time every year, you always have to surf at high intensity, which is considered that tradition has been preserved to some extent. Of course, TGA at the end of the year is also added. This year, E3 was cancelled due to the epidemic, and the Cologne Exhibition seemed to have no presence at all, and the corresponding TGS attention increased. This year, TGS has adopted a combination of online live broadcast and offline exhibition viewing. In recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, manufacturers regard online live broadcast as the main publicity method, and it has indeed been much more convenient for both manufacturers and players. To talk about the biggest winner of TGS this year, it must be the Dragon of the People Studio under SEGA. They disclosed "Dragon of the People 8", "Dragon of the People 7 Legend: The Nameless Dragon" and "Dragon of the People Restoration! The fans have enjoyed the three works of "Extreme".
and Sega also launched a sudden attack after the press conference on September 14. The two works "Eye of Judgment" and "Diet of Judgment" were suddenly released on the Steam platform without any warning, which is really a surprise.
Kimura leads the role lineup, supporting the character lineup
In recent years, whether it is Japanese entertainment or Korean entertainment, the retro style has been blowing again. The makeup and clothing from the Showa period now look unique.As the saying goes, trend is a cycle of reincarnation. My favorite part in this round is Yukikaji, who was originally a young lady. She is a Japanese but in Korea, the song "NEON 1989" included in the song "DJMAX RESPECT V" she sang is simply amazing. I have listened to it at least hundreds of times and have been used as a ringtone for the mobile phone. , Akina Nakamori, one of the three singers of Showa, also recently announced his comeback. I believe this retro style will continue for some time.
is normal in the entertainment industry. After all, the audience's taste will change. From being popular to not being popular, it is just a matter of a moment, but some people always stand at the peak, such as Kimura Takuya . He joined Jenice's at the age of 15, formed the SMAP group at the age of 16, released a single at the age of 19, made his official debut, starred in many TV series and movies, won multiple awards, and also performed outstandingly in variety shows. It has been more than 31 years since its debut. Whether it is participating in SMAP combination activities or personal activities, it can be said that it is popular all over Asia, and it is a national idol and a king-level figure. "The Eye of Judgment" is a new challenge for Kimura's master in the game field, and he himself is also very interested in this - there were rumors at the beginning of this year. Under the promotion of the master, Asahi TV station seems to have planned and intends to adapt "The Eternal Judgment" into a TV series.
And for us players, no matter whether they are great fans or not, as the saying goes, "the shadow of a man's famous tree, the wind blows the poplar flowers and make a name for themselves" (?), obviously, the expectation of his main player's performance lineup has increased at least several times. After actually entering the game, the benefits of having big things are immediately highlighted. At the beginning of the plot, the Japanese drama has a very strong flavor. It can even be said that except for modeling rather than using real people, the viewing is no different from the prime Japanese drama. This time, the master plays Takayuki Yakami. The former lawyer is now a detective. The master's appearance, which is handsome from his teenage years old to now, is really pleasing to the eye. Not to mention his long-tested acting skills, it is simply the ultimate visual enjoyment.
, in addition to the great masters, there are of course other actors involved. In particular, those who play important NPCs are basically senior actors. Although they may not be named, you will definitely feel familiar if you often watch Japanese dramas. If you have a little exploratory spirit and look at the resume, "Oh, it turns out that role, I have watched that drama" will definitely be common. For example, the lawyer Genda Ryuzao of the important role of Genda Firm, is the leader of Yakami Takayuki on the road to law, and Yakami Takayuki also regards him as a father. The person who starred in Ryuki Genda was Nakao Bin. The 80-year-old Nakao Bin is quite active in the film industry, has participated in dozens of movies, and has occasionally dabbled in TV series. His most famous movie works are various "Godzilla". In addition to him, Takifuji Kenichi has also starred in popular dramas like "Hansawa Naoki". Tanihara Akisuke is also a multi-player contestant in stage dramas dubbing and hosting various movies and TV series.
Although enabling face models and inviting actors is a common way to make games, it is not common to invite such a number of outstanding actors. In terms of scale, "Eye of Judgment" can really be said to be a huge production, and the effect has also undergone qualitative changes through the gathering effect. It is no exaggeration to say that this work even feels that this work is more advanced than the "Dragon of Man" series. In this regard, I just want to say that SEGA and Dragon Studio of the People are kindly required to continue to maintain this tradition in future works. If possible, it would be better to increase the intensity and arrange it.
follows the perspective of Yaji, and the plot slowly spreads out
Since the series is named after "Judgement X", it must be closely related to the law. As mentioned earlier, Takanono Yakan was once a lawyer who practiced at Genta and gained fame for his successful defense of innocence for the death row.However, it was precisely because this innocence defense that changed his life. The party involved quickly killed his girlfriend again. This was undoubtedly a major blow to the eight gods who were on the rise. The blow of reputation was second, and the wave of belief was the most fatal. He had deep doubts about his defense behavior and the "actual and harmful results" - this is actually the underlying issue of the classics of the legal community, namely, "who is more important, procedural justice or outcome justice", that is, the question of "who is more inclined between protecting human rights and protecting legal interests".
This is a question that asks the heart. Eight God has no answer yet - at least the plot is the beginning, and it is the last three years after this incident, and he has not yet been able to get out. During this period, his choice was to "be a lawyer and cannot save the Japanese" (mistake). So after resigning from Genda Firm, he set up his own Yakami Detective Firm in a corner of Kamurocho. Although he is a detective, he is not picky in business. It is the bottom line for his husband to save. So he not only gets some work from his old nest, Genda Firm, but also takes on some debt collection jobs exclusive to Yakuza. At the beginning, we will work with the firm's partner, Yakuza Hiratoshi Masaji, who belongs to the former Higashiro Aimatsuki Group, to conduct a friendly collection activity with another detective colleague. It is worthy of being a work in the new era, and their tracking methods are also keeping pace with the times. I won’t mention the Bluetooth headset , even the drone is used, leaving the other party unable to hide. If the other party doesn't listen, he will eventually be convinced by Yakuza's way.
I believe players will have questions in their hearts when they see this. I, a lawyer in Japan, are obviously a person with a relatively high social status. Why do I get mixed up with Yakuza at the bottom of the society? Why is it still like a fish in water (?) without any discomfort? The production team quickly gave an answer. It turned out that Yakami Takayuki himself was actually inseparable from the underworld. Although he had never joined, he had received help from Matsu Jingong, the leader of the Matsu Jingong group of Dongcheng Hui. He also regarded Matsu Jingong as his father's existence, which was actually one of the fundamental reasons why he could gain a foothold in Kamimotocho.
Of course, debt collection is just an appetizer, and the big ones come soon - Recently, Yakuza was killed in Kamitsumachi. Yakuza from another place was killed by a very cruel eye-popping murder. The murderer committed several consecutive crimes. The police had no clue but was also a Matsuki Group, and somehow became the suspect. The lawyer Shintani Masato, who entrusted Genta firm as the defense lawyer, Yakami took it for granted. After the investigation began, Eighth God discovered that things were not simple. There was obviously an ulterior motive behind this, and it was an inevitable choice to uncover the truth of everything.
inherits the plot features of the "Dragon in Man" series, and the way of unfolding in this work is also centered on the depiction of characters and events. Therefore, the characters are not labeled very simply. For example, at first I thought that the relationship between Shintani Masato and Yaji was bad, but it was not the case when they really cooperated. Perhaps Shintani Masato was indeed jealous of Yaji, but the reality is that he was quite concerned and caring for Yaji. And so was Kyohei of Hamura. Although he was not in the way of dealing with Yagami and was poking a scar when he saw Yagami, he felt that he wanted Yagami to get out of the shadow of the past as soon as possible and cheer up and return to the right track of a lawyer.
So as before, the characters are portrayed very complex, making people immersed in the atmosphere without realizing it, and driven by suspense can't stop. By the way, the game will automatically pause when you cut out of the game. I think this is a very correct setting. After all, if you miss a little of this level of plot, it will be a huge loss.
is familiar and unfamiliar. When we were still Yakuza before, we used Kamimachi as the main event stage. It can be said that we are very familiar with the grass and wood, bar and bathroom customs shop (?).But after Yakuza and Kamuromachi combined so many generations, they were still a little aesthetically exhausted, so the production team also consciously tried to switch the protagonist and switch the stage, such as the 7th generation of Haruhi, Yokohama, , , Osaka, , and the combat method was also very bold and made a breakthrough and turned into a turn-based one. Although this has caused some controversy, it is quite good to experience it myself. The subsequent "Dragon in Man 8" also made it clear that this RPG mode will continue, and the legendary work "Dragon in Man 7" with that man as the protagonist has not yet announced the specific game mechanism.
As the saying goes, "The orthodox dragon among people is in the eye of judgment and the passing of judgment" (mistake), if you want to experience the traditional dragon among people's combat gameplay, then this game does provide a good channel. It's still the familiar taste of fist to meat, the style of bicycles and billboards that can be used as weapons, and the various stunts are very fancy. If you want to use them proficiently, you really have to practice it. The way of encountering enemies is also similar to the "Dragon of Man" series. In addition to forced combat, there will be red dots walking around on the map. If you contact them, you will start fighting. Since it is mentioned to combat, the operation method must be mentioned. In fact, SEGA has "it is recommended to use a controller to play" at the beginning, which is correct, direct and pertinent (?).
Although this game is quite OK for keyboard and mouse support, it is fine to watch a plot, run a picture and talk, but when the battle starts, it makes people feel very painful. Attacks can be accomplished by clicking the mouse, but are there any keys like defense that I can't understand the prompts at all! It looked like an upward arrow, but it didn't respond at all. Then I tried the upward keyboard and it was also wrong. And I can understand the "Stand out/Lock the Enemy" button prompt, but I can't press it anyway, and I don't know what's going on. You know, it is one of the most painful things to get stuck in the middle of the fight, so I decisively reopened and honestly replaced it with the handle and immediately felt refreshed. Of course, this is just based on my personal feelings. Which operation method is suitable for you or you still need to try it yourself.
In addition to the original "old", of course there is something new. That's right, it's the investigation system that matches the detective system. When we were just engaging with our detective colleagues, the investigation system tried it out loud, and we needed to find a matching character according to the appearance characteristics. The subsequent eye-popping incident was considered a loss. First, based on the case, we asked various people around us to see if we could find some new clues and new progress. Then, based on these contents, we should run errands and find people, so that we can get closer to the core point step by step. In the process, the Ba Shen himself will have a better logical analysis and the structure is relatively clear, so even students who are not good at reasoning do not need to worry. The case context information obtained by our conversations and investigations will be stored in the "CASE FILE" APP on our mobile phone. It is very convenient to click on it to see it.
It can be said that the addition of the investigation system has greatly improved the fun of the game. Players like us who are a little tired of fighting are really lit up when they experience it.
After not fulfilling his wish, Judgment Death began to move on
In "Eye of Judgment: The Last Word of Death" and "Judgment Death: The Memories of Annihilation", I saw SEGA and Dragon Studios' ambition to break the existing product landscape, continue to expand new IPs and enhance the value of the original IP. In terms of results, they have indeed succeeded. On June 16, 2021, the official announced that the global cumulative shipment of this game exceeded 1 million copies. I think after logging into the Steam platform this time, this data should be able to rush up. Conservatively, it would be no big problem for multiple platforms to break through 1.5 million copies, right? Of course, the same situation is the same as the sequel to "The Death of Judgment". Although SEGA has not announced the specific sales, it should not be particularly difficult to reach the level of the previous work.Although sales cannot represent the entire volume, it can still reflect market recognition in a more practical way. It seems that at least it means that this new series has been completely established, right?
Of course, I want to say more about what is reflected behind this. SEGA, which has been talking about for a long time, will implement a more open strategy, and now it has finally been completely implemented at the product level, which is really a pleasure. I believe everyone has already known "Persona 345" to the entire platform, and "Dragon in Man", a series that was once mainly aimed at Japan, no longer sticks to one corner. The result of the arrangement of the PC version is a win-win situation. Players like it and no longer are restricted by the platform, and SEGA has actually achieved sales increase -
At the beginning of this year, SEGA announced that the sales of the "Dragon in Man" series of PC versions have exceeded 2.8 million sets, which is an important part that cannot be ignored compared to the total sales of the series of tens of millions. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Dragon among Human Reform will be in February next year! The PC version of "The Extreme" will be released simultaneously. The pre-order of the game has begun. The picture has evolved significantly and popular characters have been added. It also has good gaming value for old players, let alone new players. It is not to be missed at all. I think in the future, SEGA will have more works to be released simultaneously in the PC version and the console version.
Let us return to "Eye of Judgment". After the experience, I think the mood of the majority of PC players should be the same as mine. "Real to the name" is the best praise. They were born in "Dragon of Man" but took their own path. They even experience it with a little more novelty than "Dragon of Man". Our long-term expectations are not in vain. Therefore, the players’ choice after playing this game is self-evident. Of course, they will immediately start the next work "The Death of Judgment"! The feeling of playing this kind of two works together is like stocking up the show and watching it in one breath, which is even more refreshing to some extent than watching the show.
and SEGA also thoughtfully launched a two-piece collection package, including the second generation DLC "Masaji Hitomi Event Book". If you buy this together, you will get a 24% discount on the bundle, which is really much cheaper. So students who are interested in the series actually have no second choice. Just go directly to the collection and buy it. It is worth buying it directly at the original price. Then, let us see you again in "The Death of Judgment: The Memories of Annihilation"!
Comprehensive score: 8.5/10
